Acorn – Publishing Opportuniry

We wanted to share some love with our community and pass along information for other publishing opportunities out there…

Though we certainly hope you’ll still consider submitting with us for our magazine, anthology, or Write for Us submissions.


Today we are featuring, Acorn.

From their site:

Original unpublished haiku not under consideration elsewhere are welcome. Please send submissions of 5-15 poems at a time. Posting to private, online mailing lists and workshops is not considered prior publication; however, appearance in an edited online journal or a public forum, or posting on Twitter, Facebook or a personal blog, renders a poem ineligible for submission. All copyrights revert to the author upon publication.

Acumen Magazine – Publishing Opportunity

We wanted to share some love with our community and pass along information for other publishing opportunities out there…

Though we certainly hope you’ll still consider submitting with us for our magazine, anthology, or Write for Us submissions.


Today we are featuring, Acumen Magazine.

From their site:

All poetry is read carefully. Any poem that may possibly have a chance of publication is shortlisted and from this shortlist the final poems for the magazine are chosen. All other poems are returned within one to six weeks . Any unused shortlist poems are returned as soon as possible. Due to high postage costs, however, poems which are not shortlisted, but which have accompanied a shortlisted poem, will be held along with that poem so that the s.a.e. can be used for the final decision. I receive around 10,000- 15,000 poems a year; and can only publish a hundred and fifty at the most; so the chances of rejection are high. But then this applies to most magazines.

When reading poetry I look for a poem that says something which is not trivial, not obvious, doesn’t use outworn images or diction, and which works at many levels simultaneously.
